 I'm on the tightrope

 When did it get so hard to breathe

 Hot in the spotlight
F
 I'm feeling so tired

 Your hands are burned from holding me
       C                   F             Am
 And maybe you and I will fall in time eventually
 Pre-Chorus:
  G             Em      F

C
 You're on the tightrope

 I've got my reasons

 How did we get so tangled?

 You turn, I stay straight

 I bend as you break
Am
 We're so messed up but I know
 Pre-Chorus:
       G              Em             F

 The way you light up every room tonight so easily

 And I have moved mountains babe just to stumble into your good grace
